The current view along Renfield Street. It seems like the flames have been quelled, although I'd really love to have it confirmed that Glasgow Central is out of danger.

My father worked for American Airlines and the one refrain I keep hearing in my head is how he always said βAirlines canβt survive if oil is over $100 a barrel. And if they go, the whole economic web theyβre connected to goes.β

If youβre unfamiliar with Glasgow Central, hereβs an aerial shot. The red circles dome has just collapsed- that building is the heart of the fire. The red dashed line is roughly where the train lines start. So the good news is hopefully the bulk of rail structures are not currently in danger.

This is no longer about saving the corner building. It's lost. All the SFRS can do is try to prevent what would be a catastrophic spread to Glasgow Central Station.

Could this city please stop catching fire?
Hoping everyone's safe and they manage to confine it to that corner building: a loss in itself, but not as bad as if it were to reach the station.
The major fire next to Glasgow Central station has spread.

The lesson from 2022 was that we desperately needed to ramp up renewable energy construction, nuclear etc - as well as take lessons from other countries which have transitioned and invest in BESS.
At the very least this govt recognises this, unlike those (frankly, nutters) on opposition benches.
No amount of new North Sea gas field licenses will make up to how acutely exposed we are to that market and, as ever, anyone who says that's a fix is lying or an idiot.

Our our mix of gas supply between North Sea domestic production, pipelines to Norway and the rest of Europe is sufficient - but sheer lack of storage, helped in part by the last govt closing storage facilities - makes us so desperately exposed to global shocks
